It's worth getting into a relationship with a contractor who is willing to come along and do some detailed work about kitchen bathroom, plumbing electrical, foundation, roof, etc, and a number to go along with each in exchange for hopefully getting the job or if not, a fee for the work done from you.   

For your first flip, look more for cosmetic flaws, like ugly flooring, outdated kitchens and bathrooms.

This is a very stable and competitive market- good houses sell within days of being listed.I walked through the property once- needs some cosmetic updates, new carpeting, wall paper taken down, ideally redo the kitchen in the one unit.

I worked in many of the departments throughout my career, and became the youngest Plumbing Specialist in the company, and then the youngest Kitchen Cabinet Specialist.

It needs updated kitchen and bathroom, and new flooring, some other minor stuff like replaced baseboards, and of course paint (but I feel like that is always a given with any property).

Although, you have to look at things like; what are the interiors like, how upgraded/updated is the kitchen, what condition is the house in (siding, landscape, paint, etc.)  

The property needs updating (kitchen & baths), a new roof, HVAC, painting, refinish floors and re-do the basement.

That scroll work over the kitchen sink is probably on a single board that can easily be removed and totally take that 70s-80s element out of the kitchen cabinets. 

After a walk through already, the only thing needed is flooring, paint and kitchen cabinets.
